Chet infected foot asks to be voted out, there was no question he was going anyway. Erik upset, he & Tracy need Chet Erik wants to take Ozzy down because they think he has the idol Ami will vote the way Tracy & ERik want They ask Chet to use his last dying breath to vote Ozzy out

I seem to remember from a way earlier season that the number of votes previously cast against you in TC was used as a tie breaker or something...maybe they were just hedging their bets? And Tracey prob didn't want to vote for her friend...

Past votes did count in the earlier seasons but they quit using them in season 3,4,5 something like that, can't remember. I think they voted for Erik with his knowledge so they didn't alienate any of the favs. Or make them suspicious.

That was a masterful idea--and would have been a real coup if that had worked!

Erik gave permission ~Tracy (Erik): Erik, thank you for giving me permission to write your name, because I vowed never to vote for Chet. This means nothing. Just a vote.http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/topic/28209

Boy, was that a rough episode -- for Jonathan! He was never my favorite Survivor (that honor would have to go to Yul), but I didn't want Jonathan to go like that! Rotten luck!

As for why Tracy and Chet voted for Erik, Tracy didn't want to vote for her friend and I guess the two of them decided just to throw their votes away. Erik was the best bet for throwaway votes, and he gave them permission to do just that.
